Hardware So I opened my Wii ..

I'm having a problem when I try to play backup games that were released in 2010, like Super Mario Galaxy 2, Guitar Hero 6, PES 2011, Rock Band 3, and New Super Mario. The disc channel just says: Unable to read the disc. Gecko OS won't load it either, it shows up the following error: No dvd found. If i try to copy a backup to an usb hdd on my wii, it just won't find any dvd. I think my wii chipset is the gc2-d2c, according to its serial. I've tried downloading many modchis config discs, but they didn't work.
I've tried these:
wk2UsaV1.3 - Wiikey 2 "Shows up on disc channel, wii restarts when launched, boots via gecko os, says that no wiikey 2 was found."
wiikey.1.99.beta.usa - Wiikey "Doesn't show up on disc channel, wii reboots when booted via gecko os"
wasabi_upgrade_config_3_0 - Wasabi "wii reboots"
d2pro_dvd_usa_v1.8 - D2Pro "Doesn't show up on disc channel, no dvd found by gecko os"
Can anyone help me ?

UPDATE :

Sony vegas didnt render the video properly, skip to 1:23 to see the video
Those yellow dvds have the following code according to imgburn: Destination Media Type: DVD-R (Disc ID: TYG02) (Speeds: 4x; 6x; 8x)
My SMG2 Disc was recorded with this media, and it didnt work.
EDIT: Look what I have found

QUOTE
For misinformation and bad faith also, various shops / dealers sell

these DVDs that have a fake ID as Taiyo Yuden,
Sony or another manufacturer established, but in reality are false and there
a big difference in quality for an authentic media.

I'm now trying to burn an old backup (the ones that work) on that dvd and see if it works.
EDIT : It didnt work, only the old backup did.

Man I remember this modchip. I was contemplating getting one of these right before the wiikey2 came out. I'm glad I waited cause this 20+ wire job would've been hell for me to do, much like the ps2 modchip days.

Look what I've found :

D2CPRO GW 601 - Clone D2CKey but included neat fetures like Modchip Disarm Mode - 30 Wire Installation.


Theres something called modchip disable mode. Is this the cause of the problem mentioned on the other thread ?

Oh shit

Could be a burnt pin. Reball, flux use, and solder skills are recommended before these type of projects. Hopefully you resolve this bug without it being a hardware issue.

I would go for that disable mode and failing that simply remove the chip

Simply cutting all the wires could suffice.
Next try with removing the SMD's from the daugtherboards.
(only if they actually are on them, on a second look it seem more like they are on the wii itself)
Last resort unsoldering the boards.

But only try it if you think you can handle step 3.

can someone explain me what does this guy do in the video ?

Sorry, I can't unnsolder that thing.

I believe that the D2CPRO is the clone of D2CKey. From what i know the only difference is that D2CPRO is capable of shutting off the chip when you want to. I'm curious as to what other differences they have? Does anyone know?

I REALLY want to know how to disable it.

Well from what I see he removes all discs from the wii , then close it & power it up will holding the rest button .

didn't work =/

Can those little "boards" be "unattached" from that black blocky thing ?

I think they are called "Easy Boards"

I removed the modchip :

What do I use to load backups without modchip ?

The read speeds are kinda slower than before, why ?
It looks like there's something loosy on my Wii when I shake it.

This piece came off when I was dissasembling the Wii , and I don't know where it is from.

A softmod
best applied with modmii

but put that piece wherever it belongs before powering it up again
failing to do so will likely cause further damage

That small plastic bit looks like a part of the disc locking mechanism. If thats what it is, it will probably cause damage to your discs and/or Wii if you dont have it.

I don't have any idea of where it is from. I don't know where to put it.

A question: Loding backups without a modchip is slow as hell, the game lags sometimes and some cutscenes are slow. Is this normal ?

 

[The_Dragons_Mast]

Yup backup games run at half their original speed without a modchip . That is one of the main reasons people switched to usb loading long time ago.

Its quite hard to pinpoint it based on that picture, because it isnt very clear.
Also Ive never completely disassembled my Wii, only the bigger parts to get a look at it. But I do recall seeing something that reminds of that thing on the DVD drive.
